Ipad air vs windows surface 2?
i was looking at first looking at the surface but i heard some bad things about them. i know there is not that many apps for it. its faster than the surface rt but it still runs on the old OS which sounds like had a lot of issues. what hooked me on the surface was that it came with the windows programs, it has a usb port and you could buy a key bored for it and turn it into a labtop which i like the most. i want to know what you people think about both of them. which one is better?

Well, it totally depends on your use. If USB port & Microsoft programmes are your priorities then you should go for surface 2. Or if you just want a keyboard, then you should go for iPad coz there are many cases in the market that have a keyboard attached to them.
